Overview

Giethoorn

There are many Dutch towns, cities and villages that merit a visit, but one of them is certainly Giethoorn. Often referred to as the ‘Little Venice’of the Netherlands, only accessible by boat and with an absence of roads and cars. We invite you for a private canal cruise to experience the peace, tranquility and natural beauty of this magical village.

Hasselt

Take in the fairy-tale charms of Hasselt by foot, the most intimate way to get to know one of Hollands most delightful riverside towns. You will walk directly into the Old Town, following its cobblestone streets passing medieval houses. History is on the streets in Hasselt. You walk with your experienced private guide along the atmospheric canals and the narrow streets. The Hanseatic city Hasselt is full of stories from a far and less distant past. Discover why Hasselt is also called 'small Amsterdam'!

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Giethoorn, Giethoorn, Overijssel Province

Your private guide will drive you directly to the picturesque village of Giethoorn ( 75min ). The centre of the village is car-free so the only way to get around is by boat or on foot. Your guide will transform himself into your captain and welcome you on board a typical 'punter', a small Dutch flat bottomed boat designed to sail in shallow waters for a private one hour tour through Giethoorn. After you're back on dry land you'll join your guide for a short walking tour giving you another perspective on this picture perfect little village.

Duration: 3 hours 30 minutes

Stop At: Hasselt, Hasselt, Overijssel Province

After leaving Giethoorn you'll drive through the countryside to Hasselt, a storybook village off the beaten path. In Hasselt you'll wander with your guide through the old town’s cobblestone streets, learn about its history and why it's named 'Little Amsterdam'.

Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes

My wife and I took the Giethoorn, Private Boat Tour & Exploring the North Netherlands By Private Day Tours Amsterdam tour. Steve is personable, friendly and full of knowledge about Netherlands history, culture and the sites visited. After driving us to this beautiful and unique village, he became our small boat captain for a tour of the canals. The timely pickup and drop off at our hotel plus his readiness to accommodate our interests and desires was much appreciated. He is an excellent driver and his vehicle is comfortable. Overall an outstanding tour. Well worth the price.

We had an excellent trip with Steven. He was extremely informative with an extensive knowledge of Amsterdam and its history. . Giethoorn was incredibly picturesque. The walking tour of the small township of Hasselt was extremely enjoyable. Being a private tour, Steven was able to answer all our questions and we were able to move at a pace that worked well for our group. I would highly recommend Steven and his tour. Thank you Steven!

We spent 3 days with Steve on 3 different tours. Each tour was 5 stars, so Steve is a 15-star guide! He is native born, has an engaging personality and has the knowledge to genuinely provide the experiences you are seeking. He weaves the character of the Dutch culture throughout his tours--a true professional. You will enjoy every minute spent with him. And, as a bonus, his English is superb and his driving impeccable!

Steve is AMAZING! We spent 4 days with him and were able to see and experience sooo much of the Netherlands! He is incredibly knowledgable about absolutely everything. He got us in all the museums we wanted to see, had prepaid transportation cards for us, arranged for a private plate painting session at the Royal Delft factory and more! Just let Steve know what you want to do, and he will find a way to make it happen! He was so patient with us as well and very easy going. We went off the beaten path and strayed from the itinerary quite a bit, but everything was absolutely seamless. Every little detail was perfect and our trip was so memorable thanks to him. For us, it's the little details that count. He even brought some bread from home so we could feed the ducklings and swans in Giethoorn! Touches like that make Steve and Private Day Tours stand out amongst the rest. That, and the fact we didn't have to worry about anything-his tours are all inclusive, from the museum admissions to the boat rental in Giethoorn. We were treated like royalty and are so thankful for Steve!
